An Experience Meeting. The dinner will n a gusintorlal hummer, under the direction of chief hot air stokers O. V. Johnson, L. P. Weaver and Win. McMnnay, and th.tre will he speeches, souks, pic tures, stunts, and grunts of satisfac tion over thii success of their under takings. It will be a general roundup and experience meeting, at which mavericks and kickers and bunkers generally will be taken In nnd brand ed for future Identification. For I'liltcd Oregon. That Is thu slogan or the Knights of Progress who slide out of Portland on their missions of mercy, and to relieve the rest of the commonwealth of Its shining dollars on the theory that no man or community Is any good In the world until It Is separ ated from too strict adherence to Its glittering coin. Their excursions mean nn expenditure of about six thousand slmoleons each go to the cow coun ties. Kuch for All, Klc. One for each and each for all and for all you can reach seems to be the motto of the Portland hunch, and It is winning results for the metrop olis of Oregon. What wuld Oregon be without this live bunch and the lire they throw Into the situation? Kven the undertakers nt Portland push for business on these boosting excursions, and have secret service . men posting them as to possible fu nerals In the near future In the towns they visit. Klamath. Falls Train. The Southern Pacific personally conducted special was the most per fectly appointed train that ever ran through the state. The Pullmans were connected up with telephones, so that nt every stop the pilgrim could com municate with his family at home or call up some Friend to make a date at the next town. The dining car service was as fine as could be had for money, and at various places addi tions not on the bill of fare gave agrecuble surprises. At one place a crato of caiitoloupi'g rolled aboard. At another town a crate of straw berries as big as young chickens came Into the car. Telegrams, newspapers, flowers and gifts or local production were shoved Into the train all along the line. The train was personally conducted by Win. McMurray, general passenger agent, and W. II. Jenkins, traveling passenger agent. Klegant badges nnd ' personally named and printed itinerary booklets were given each member or the party. .Members of the l'urty. A. 1. Illltz, Portland Ilrewlng Co. Judge' (ieo.

Albany has no sore places-having never had any state appropriations.

At Klamath Falls the newer ele ments largely from San Francisco, refused to attend the booster rally at Huston's onera house. iirwi,i...i hy Judge Geo.

Tho vr,, have put up n $100,000 hotel, have e.u,eu me location of the 1".0.000 court house, are locating new indus tries on the upper lake. Judge Itald n has put up a new hotel, has a large hardware business and a ware house at the railroad. If the two rival catnps will just push It far enough, the competition will be the making of Klamath Falls. 1 he Johnson-Wendling-Worden crowd are not disposed to be quitters, and the Klamath llevelopment Co. have put Klamath Falls on the map. They captured part of the Portland crowd, dined them at the country club, gave them a launch ride on the I'pper lake and S. O. Johnson went back to Port land with them. Former Siilcmltex. A number of the Portland bunch Were former Salem boys. There was S. W. Hermann of the llolman Trans fer Co.. a nephew of the late Kd Hlrsch, and Harry Meier. wit, Mason Uirinan & Co. Hoth recall being boys at the Capital City, and remem ber all the old timers. Otto Hrevman of the llreyman U-ather Co. Is a nephew of the llreyman brothers of Salem. At Grants Pass I met K. K Horapaugli. who knew mv brother Frank In North Dakota In tlie eighties At Klamath Falls 1 met John l.oomls of Newport who lias a ranch there. Owns Several nouses. F. M. Seller of M. Seller Co., the only direct importers of fine china ware in Portland, proved an agreeable traveling companion. Ills rather start ed the business in 1 $."!), and was one or the first merchants of Corvallls About this time Portland began to outgrow Marysvllle. as the town up the river was originally called, and Mr Seller, Sr., had the fotvsight to move down the river. They have large stores at Seattle, Spokane and Port land, and may some day establish a branch at Salem. ( humphm Orator. Geo. M. Ilyland was presented with! a beautiful stein for his readiness In making off-band speeches as chair man nf the Pnrtlnnrl rlplr.frntlnn Ma has the happy faculty of saying the ngm nice tiling ana saying It with a bank. Nothing but his characterizing Eugene as '"the smile of Oregon," at the University banquet, would have made everybody reel as good as they did reel arter It was said. The talent tor doing what he did and doing It so many times is a rare one, but Hy land has it. We (aught the Train. Geo. T. Iwrence, Jr., whose senior established a saddlery and harness business at First and Oak streest, within a block of where an uncle of the three Ijiwrenre hrnthera nnonarl up In the same line in 1857. I had a pleasant experience with Mr. Law rence in fcugene, where we both missed the special train by two min utes. A friend rustled an auto and took us the fourteen miles to Junction in 27t lninntf'H Wp cnnlrl nr. have made it but for a few miles out of hugene is a piece of first class high way built by County Judge Thompson. .iiujor diisi-UH-vioou. Geo. J. M;iior renresentpfl tho Pair- banks, Morse Scale Co., whose scales have become fhe RlnnilnrH hv whlnh other scale manufacturers get their wares on tne market by advertising them as being "just as good as." This firm also handles electrical apparatus and mining machinery. Hants to Fly Soon. C. H. Klnir. a flne-lnnklnir Mom Yorker, is with the Keats Antn Pn. and has rollowed the game tor eleven years. He has seen the iWulrmmoni of the bicycle, the motorcycle, the motorcar, anu tne areopiane. He says he Will live 1(1 HPP th ntllilv rf tha airship taken up by colleges and in me meantime is Keeping up with thp science or aerial navigation himself. He says It has all come about In a perfectly natural manner of progress along the line of the least resistance, via the iineuiiintic tire nnrl linli-t,.,,, tngs to reduce friction and make high speed exoloslve gas enelnes nnuulhln I Bllf Paper Houses. L. A. Colton has been with the Pa cific Paper Co. at Portland for 19 years. They started at Front and Alder with 10,000 square feet floor space and now use 125,000 square feet. ThlB shows about tha way all whole sale business baa expanded at Port land. Another Portland paper house, Blake-McFall Co., represented by A. IS. Galloway, has been running 17 years. It started on Front and Stark in a space about 40 by 100 feet, and now has a six-floor building, 100 by 100 feet, at Fourth and Ankeny streets. Mr. Galloway is a native of Montana and a nephew of Judge Gal loway of this city. . (ot Into Music. F. W. Graves of the Graves Music Co. went into the music business in 1803. He had one girl stenographer at $3 a week, in a room 18 by 45. He has today tortv neonle on tho one a woman at $125 a month, and carries a stocK of $100,000, with a branch store at Snoknno. nn.i nnnn.i sales of $400,000. This represents a little of the magical power of person ality. Mr. Graves was a money-lender uy piwssion. a Dau loan got him Into the music business when he did not know one musical other, as all his experience had been wiin unity and sixty-day notes with the jingle of coin as the only accompaniment. Whs Editor-in-Chief. Lloyd W. McDowell, publicity agent of the Ruth Trust Co., was editor-in-chief and he had some able assist ants. At Grants Pass E. L. Churchill took us to see the wonderful sipht nf tho trip a hundred thousand salmon weighing from ten to forty pounds, In the wier built by the government hatchery. The river for 1000 feet by 400 feet wide was one mass of live, leaping royal Chinook. Pianos and Perk. The Kllers piano house was repre sented by A. H. Kllers, brother or Hi Kllers, who has conducted business at Portland for thirteen years. He had not enough monev to pay freight on cnrlnnda nf niinnc when he started. He could buy pianos uu reuu, nut freight was always cash on the Southern Pacific. He has made money enouirh to cot Intn n hnti.iino- built for him especially on one or me nnesi corners in the city. Hi Idlers has traveled In Europe and has a taste for the better thlnirs In and has heard most of the great per- lorioers anu singers. He is almost big enough a man to become United States senator. J. L. Sterrett rpurespnted Snlmirio. child and Sulzberger, one of the big four meat concerns of the United ptates, and bis house supplied the .steaks fnr the speckl train dininc car. He is himself n li vinir rpi.rtic.in tative of the good food products sup plied by his house. . A. Kroschel represented the Welnhard llrewerv. nml fnr thr.... years has been manager or the firm's outside business in tho Northwest. A. P. pjitz represented the Portland Ilrewlng company on the trip. H. A. KiUnn has for te n veara roi. resented the agricultural Implement department of the Marshall-Wells Hardware Co., a firm that started in business in an old stuhlo nt tho on-t end of the Morrison bridge some years ago, anu now occupies several blocks or buildings. Their fi.Hir space Is measured by the acre and their sales extend- over half the United States. F. A. Freeman, cashier of the Lum berman's National bank, was one of the live men of the excursion. He was cashier for the Asiatic sten COIUnanv mill ImnilloH tholr hol..., at Hongkong and Shanghai until it i (ii 01 ousiness. He can come as near cornerinsr a lnree shnro nf tho banking business of a city as any man iu me game. The Merchants National was renro- sented by W. P. Jones, who had ran. siderable experience in the east as a bank examiner, and that makes him I a valuable man now for any banking house to have around. Edward Murphy, Jr., was the car toonist on the Daily Killer, a news paper published on the train every day several limes. There were reg ular morning and evening editions and specials tor every city where the train stopped. In every issue there was appropriate character sketches rrom the Murphy scratch-pads, and considering that he had to do his sketching on a train running at fifty miles an hour, he did great work. Wholesale Grocers. Samuel C. Kerr represented the Wadhams & Kerr Bros, wholesale grocery. The business was started In 18S5 by Wadhams, and Mr. Kerr has been with the firm from the begin ning. They now employ about seventy-five men and do a business reaching into the millions. There are four other wholesale grocery houses at Portland: Wadhams & Co., Allen & Lewis, Mason, Khrman & Co., and Lang & Co. The latter have estab lished a branch jobbing business at Salem, and the time is not far distant when they will all have to consider doing the same thing at Salem and possibly at Klamath Falls. N. C. Olsen was on the excursion for the Warren Construction com pany. The bitulithic pavement Is used on all the streets ot the cities we visited. In some towns cheaper pave ment Is used, but the finest streets are all put down with the bitulithic from Portland to Klamath Falls. . Ilnosleil Exposition.. One of the live men of the party was Julius Meier of the Meier & Frank company, Portland's greatest department store. He Is chairman of the San Francisco Panama Canal ex position that is to be pulled off in 11)15, and in every city he boosted tor the enterprise. He has some great plans In mind Tor Oregon at the ex position, and it allowed to work them out will prove to be the right man in the right place as- head commis sioners. He expects soon to call his commission together and rormulate plans or procedure that Oregon may be creditably represented. Additional Personalities. C. C. Chapman was the man on the box. He did everything to make the excursion a success from tooting the horn, banging the cymbals, hot airing the ladles when by chance the orators overlooked them, improvising a street program at any town where things dragged the least bit, getting out and circulating the Dally Killer, patting the babies under the chin, bragging on the big pumpkins, swal lowing vast quantities of refreshments wherever they were offered, getting out stories for the press there Was no end of Chapman's activities, and on such an excursion he is indispen sible. He had able lieutenants in B. H. Wickersham of the cracker trust, and J. Fred Larson, the inimitable Swedish Impersonator. Where Larson picked up his genius for Imitating that nationality so perfectly is a mystery. He does not look It and is frequently taken for a son of the Emerald isle by strangers. The Boss of the Road. B. E. Neustadter, of the big manu facturing firm of Neustadter Bros., who make the Boss of the Road over alls, was one of the jolly traveling companions, and proved one of the 'most gallant men of the whole excur sion. From Eugene to Salem Mrs. F. H. Rothschild joined the party, and at the last dinner, Mr. Neustadter saw that she was presented with a bouquet ot beautiful roses. The Biographer. The official biographer regrets that he cannot print a sketch of each indi vidual member of the conquering band who have done so much to put Ore gon on the commercial map and keep it there.
